Want to play with Team Fortress 2 maps? You can.

Team Fortress 2 remains a very popular multiplayer game, and that's in no small part to the many updates that Valve has released for the PC version of the game, overhauling many of the existing classes and, by doing so, rebalancing the game. Now fans themselves can have some fun tweaking Team Fortress 2, as Valve has released an update to the Source SDK (software development kit) with many of the official Team Fortress 2 maps.

By including the official maps, Valve has two goals. Newcomers and beginners to software development can learn their way around map design by studying the official maps and editing them. Meanwhile, veteran map designers can take a look at how Valve's professional design team works and study how they work.

The maps included in the Source SDK update are: Lumberyard, Ravine, Badlands, Dustbowl, Granary, Gravelpit, 2Fort, Badwater, Goldrush, and Hydro. Valve says it will put more Team Fortress 2 content in the SDK in the future, including more maps and model sources. To learn how to jump into the Source SDK, go to the Valve Developer Community.
